Zheng Qinwen's points returned to 4000 to unlock a new achievement, and Zhan Jinhua's nemesis ushered in a real challenge

Many big surprises brought by Zheng Qinwen, who did not wait for the new season, finally waited in Miami this time!

The pre-match discussion of Zheng Qinwen against the American girl Townsend was also very interesting.

Some people say that Townsend can come to Zheng Qinwen in front of him, there must be two brushes, plus six years ago in the first round of the Miami qualifiers to make the Chinese sister cry, in the current situation of confidence, Zheng Qinwen wants to pass not easy; Some people also say that from the point of view of Zheng Qinwen's "love to hold grudges" and the point that he must accept hatred, Townsend is now likely to disappear from the singles draw table when he meets Zheng Qinwen, Indian Wells has avenged Azarenka and Sun Lulu successively, Zheng Qinwen is desperate to fight, "This time the little black girl must be more auspicious."

It turns out that Townsende, who has rough skills and lacks patience, really has little chance of winning against Zheng Qinwen at present. In the end, he was defeated by a Chinese sister in two straight sets, and successfully avenged the fiasco six years ago.

With this victory over Townsend, Zheng Qinwen also returned to the 4,000 mark after gaining 120 points in the round of 16, temporarily retaining the eighth ranking, which made many people who were worried that China's first sister would fall out of the world's top 10 after the Miami 1000 tournament.

In addition, Zheng Qinwen's round of 16 also allowed her to unlock another achievement of her career: reaching the round of 16 for the first time in the North American Sunshine Double Tournament back-to-back.

Previously, after Zheng Qinwen reached the quarterfinals for the first time in Indian Wells, he moved to Miami and the draw came out, and many people shouted that the brilliant performance of the first sister of China should pass soon, the potential opponent Putintseva is a thorn, Rybakina is a giant, Sabalenka is a high mountain, Zheng Qinwen is an absolute tough battle for anyone, and it is a little difficult to pass. Unexpectedly, this time the American girl organized a group to help Zheng Qinwen, and swept away the bitter master Putintseva and the absolute strong enemy Rybakina in advance, which instantly turned the signing of the first sister of China into a signature, and also laid the foundation for unlocking this new achievement this time.

For Zheng Qinwen's opponent Kruger in the quarterfinals, some fans and netizens joked that Zheng Qinwen's rhythm simply fell into the encirclement of the Americans, defeating the American veteran Davis in two sets in his debut, and revenge the little black sister Townsend of the beautiful country in the third round, and the next match against Kruger is still a local player.

However, compared with the two American players that Zheng Qinwen has defeated before, many people think that facing Kruger is the real challenge of China's first sister in this Miami, and it is a tough battle.

Speaking of Klu, this American girl actually has a lot of fate with the Chinese Golden Flower.

Up to now, the American girl and the Chinese Golden Flower have played a total of seven times, with five wins and two losses, and the Chinese Golden Flower who has defeated Zhang Shuai, Wang Xiyu and Yuan Yue, among which Wang Yafan has maintained two consecutive victories. The head-to-head record is superior, and many people also refer to Kruger as China's Golden Flower nemesis.

And Kruger suffered two defeats, one was against Zheng Qinwen in the first round of the Australian Open last year, and the Chinese sister defeated her. The reason why that game is still talked about by Zheng Qinwen's fans is because after the first sister of China defeated her, she was sent all the way to the final, and it was not until she finally met Sabalenka that she tasted loss for the first time.

The other golden flower that defeated Kruger was Wang Qiang. After the two met in the first round in Miami in 2022, Rose beat her in a comeback.

Now Kruger is about to fight Zheng Qinwen in Miami, and from the fact that he was given a defeat by the first sister of China before, it is obvious that Kruger is also interested in revenge. A person familiar with the matter has revealed in advance that after the American girl knew that her opponent in the quarterfinals was Zheng Qinwen, she had already said that she was "here for revenge".

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, it should be true that Kruger's battle is not good.

Although the American girl is not ranked as high as Zheng Qinwen, after coming to Miami, judging from her performances in the second round to beat Rybakina and Fernandez in the third round, the American girl is in quite good shape.

Kruger, like Zheng Qinwen, is also the first Miami round of 16. With the current confidence in place, there is no need to think that the American girls want to hit for better results and at the same time avenge the previous Australian Open defeat.

Of course, Zheng Qinwen's current form is also good. However, one of the things that worries the first sister of China now is that her state is not stable enough. Especially in this match against Townsend, after easily playing 6-1 in the first set, the state of the second set suddenly fluctuated greatly, and if it was not for the rapid stabilization in the tie-break, the consequences would have been really unimaginable.

Krueger and Townsend are obviously different opponents, and although the American girl also relies on touch to play, she is relatively more consistent than Townsend. This also forced Zheng Qinwen to find a way to strike first at that time, otherwise if Kruger was allowed to play well in advance, coupled with her sharp attack, then such a big trouble would really come.

Whether Zheng Qinwen can successfully break through against Kruger is worth paying attention to; Whether it can refresh the record of the North American Sunshine Double Tournament again and reach the quarterfinals back-to-back is also worth looking forward to!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
